I'd like to nominate Prudence for the “LoT Post Pulitzer” for this thread.
Any seconds? Anyone?
I really feel that she did a magnificent job of summing up the feelings of a lot of us out here who can't attend DL together every Sunday, don't hang out drinking martinis together, and don't shop at the same Sephora. Sure, we all love this place and the family we’ve established here, but some of us just aren't as privy as others to the inner dynamics functioning within the core of posters who created these boards. As unbelievable as some of the things brought up here may be to those of you in the LoT inner-sanctum, those of us out here could very well be led into believing that the group could melt down and close friendships could be thrown aside in anger. Let's face it, one thing that a lot of us here have in common is a fiery personality, or at least one that can get fiery if prodded. To believe that any of our personalities or relationships are invulnerable to flaring up at any time, and at anyone, is a little bit naive. As swanky as we are, we're still just people.
Like Prudence said, some features were devilish and funny, but others were a little too extreme. I’d be all for a repeat next year though. With the lessons learned this year, and the creativity flowing freely through many of the people here, I’m sure that the mother of all pranks can be concocted.... in a happy way.
